Abstract [en]

This work is a stepping stone towards developing higher order shell element for

simulating composite manufacturing procedure. In this study, a continuum

approach suitable for combined material and geometrically nonlinear analysis

for an eight node solid shell element SS8 is explained. The formulation of SS8

comprises two ingredients to alleviate undesirable locking effects: 1) Assumed

Natural Strain concept, which has proven to alleviate the curvature thickness

and transverse shear locking problems. 2) Enhanced Assumed Strain, which

adds enhanced degrees of freedom to improve the in-plane response of the

element and the curvature thickness locking problem. This formulation has

been extended to represent geometric and material non-linearity using Total

Lagrangian approach. Finally, finite strain formulation has been verified by

numerical examples. Results when compared to continuum shell element in

ABAQUS show a reasonable agreement with a relative error of less than 2%.
